There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.

One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person

who can solve my riddle, " the king said. Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest

horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard "Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it,” the king challenged.

People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their

noses to the ground and scratched their heads.

How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt(泥土)over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.

A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour(面粉).

Your Majesty, "the baker said to the king, I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it. "Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line.

Now, good king, "the baker smiled, "your line is shorter.

The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.

The baker was excited. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.

Death of science icon(巨匠)

In modern history, there has perhaps never been a scientist as

well-known as Stephen Hawking. Whether he was educating the world with

his knowledge of the universe（宇宙）, or making fun of himself in TV shows

like The Simpsons, it’s hard to imagine what the world will be like but now

Hawking is no longer in it.

On March 14, the British physicist passed away at his home in Cambridge, England. Since then, many people have expressed their sadness in public, including British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web. “We have lost a great mind and a wonderful spirit,” Berners-Lee wrote.

Hawking was an icon for many reasons, but he will be best remembered for his work in the field of science. Building on German scientist Albert Einstein’s work, Hawking explained his belief that space started with the Big Bang, and will end with Black Holes. This idea kicked off a series of scientific studies including into the origin of the universe itself.

Besides his work in science, he also managed to overcome many difficulties in his personal life. While studying at Cambridge University, he got a serious illness at the age of 21. His illness left him disabled and he was told he only had a short time to live. However, as we all know, he went on to become one of the greatest minds that the world has ever known.

Hawking leaves behind a great legacy(遺產(chǎn)). His book A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes that came out in 1988, became one of the world’s best-sellers. He may no longer be with us, but Hawking will continue to inspire the world for generations to come. As he once said himself, “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet.”
